Void

"It is the void in us that nurses our deeper sorrow, yet it is also the void which carves our soul to form and fashions our destiny."

The void is no mere emptiness, but is real, free and existing. It is the source from which all things arise and return. It cannot be seen, touched or known, yet it exists and is freely used. It has no shape, size, colour or form, and yet all that we see, hear, feel and touch is "it". It is beyond intellectual knowing and cannot be grasped by the ordinary mind. When we suddenly awake to the realization that there is no barrier, and has never been seen, one realizes that one is all things, mountains, rivers, grasses, trees, sun, moon, stars, universe are all oneself. There is no longer a division or barrier between myself and others, no longer any feeling of alienation or fear. Realizing this, results in true compassion. Other people and things are not seen as apart from oneself, on the contrary, as one's own body. - Bruce Lee

Samurai

Tradition in Japan celebrates the fierce warrior of Japan; the samurai. Sometimes wandering alone, more often fighting in Japans complex civil wars, the samurai may have been history's most effective and terrifying warriors.Legends, movies, popular fiction, books in Japan and all over the world picks the samurai as the most lethal swordsman that has ever lived. Was he that lethal? Yes. Was it pure technique, mere mastery of the sword that made the samurai so deadly, or was it near magical powers that came from their harmony with beauty and nature? For the samurai death had to be something beautiful and honourable. Was this the way they could fight with such intensity because they where unrestrained and un-distracted by the fear of death?
"If one is to fight bravely, he must not be held back by the silly nonsense of survival stuck in his head." -Hagakure, The Book of the Samurai.
